Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sun Belt region, which includes states in the southern and southwestern parts of the United States, has seen significant growth in population and employment opportunities over the past few decades, due in part to factors such as milder climate, lower cost of living, and a growing technology industry. On the other hand, the Frost Belt and Rust Belt regions in the northeastern and midwestern parts of the country have seen declines in manufacturing jobs and population. The Bible Belt refers to a region of the southeastern and south-central United States with a high concentration of conservative religious beliefs and practices, but it is not necessarily associated with employment or population trends. The northwestern region of the United States has seen some growth, but not to the same extent as the Sun Belt.
